I seem to be on a bit of a puppy chow lately. After making a batch of my favorite classic puppy chow and later using some of it to make these stellar brownies, a delicious little lightbulb suddenly went off in my head:
Why not try making puppy chow with Biscoff spread in place of peanut butter?!?!?
This of course necessitated making yet another batch of puppy chow STAT.
And now, I recommend you do the same. :)
The creamy, cinnamon cookie goodness of the Biscoff paired perfectly with the chocolate and powdered sugar. And of course, the cereal gave the chow it’s classic crunch. I couldn’t stop snacking on it while photographing! So I ended up taking the batch to my new coworkers (already love them!!) at Hallmark, and they graciously helped me polish it off.
Cheers to even more puppy chow love!

Notes
***Please note that this recipe is for humans to enjoy only!!! Any form of chocolate is no good for pups.***
Adapted from Chex.
Even though the recipe in the directions said peanut butter…I knew the translation ;-). I coarse chunks of Biscoff cookies…. SO good! Great recipe
How much peanut butter?
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! My son is allergic to peanuts and this sounds like a delicious alternative. We will definitely be making some soon!
I Have found Biscoff at Trader JOe’s. Love the cookie butter
Also good in oatmeal cookies
Very easy and delicious. A great alternative to anyone with peanut allergies. I learned that adding vanilla to the microwaved Biscoff/chocolate mixture makes it a bit less creamy and thus a little bit more difficult when combining the Chex mix.
Also, I shook this mixture up in a paper bag.
I found some cinnamon chex, do you think that will work well? These look amazing and I can’t wait to try it
Sure, I think those would be great!
I have a jar of Biscoff and had puppy chow in mind for sure!
Can’t wait to try it…my mouth is watering just thinking about it : )
Oh, the synchronicity of it all! I just received a jar of Biscoff spread (which, by the way, I’m eating by the spoonful) in a Christmas gift basket and this is the first result I clicked on when I searched “peanut free puppy chow.” Perfection. Thanks!
I love puppy chow and I love Biscoff, what a great idea to combine them! (I think Biscoff would taste good on or in anything though :) )
Is it possible to make this recipe without butter and with an extra tsp of vanilla? A friend gave me this recipe but with these minor changes.
